I'm done with UBERTI / BENELLI USA

I have wanted the UBERTI Walker for a long time. I finely got the money needed to pay cash for it at a gun shop here in town. That was my first mistake. Me or anyone else wanting to to buy any kind of black powder revolver / pistol, should go through Dixie Gun Works, Cabela's, or who ever, that way if something go's wrong you can send it back and get them fixed, or replaced in short order. I'm pretty much done with UBERTI, and BENELLI USA. Service Department. I called them and told them what had happen to my NEW Walker, that after 24rds fired with 45grs of pyrodex P the hammer could not be pulled back, and the Cylinder stop had some kind of a problem, were it was missing the little holes in the cylinder, and hitting the side of them. I cleaned the gun as soon as I came in the house. Oiled it, everything seemed to be ok, I put it up for the night, got it back out the next day to look it over , thats when I pulled the hammer back, and pulled the trigger to let the hammer back down, and nothen hammer just set there. Call Benelli tolled them what was going on, an the guy on the other end of the line could care less. told me to take it to where I bought it from, and they could send it back to them for repair. There is no replace of the pistol I don't care about replacing it, I want it fixed. Sence the walker is new I have not put a driver to any of the screws. I ask, what's the turn around time on something like this " oh about 6 to 8 weeks". 6 to 8 weeks, really a big help. I have 6 pietta's BP revolvors, and never had a problem with any of them. one of the 58 armys is over 20 yrds old and had 1000s of rds through it, that pistol is just getting broke in. That just tells me cause it looks good, and the writing is under the barrel don't mean a thing, if it don.t hold up. Some of you might be able to fork out almost $400.00 bucks at the drop of a hat, I sure can't. if I'm gona do it I'll pay to have my walker fixed. Forget UBERTI, and BENELLI You my slap me twice, you want get a third chance. I'll stick with PIETTA from now on. At least the inside of them ant junk. If their product is so good, then why are they so backed up with repair work.

Think all you guys for your posing and support

None of you got the first post, cause I was so steamed up, It was not fit to read. How ever the first post on here is the cleaned up first one.

.1 I had to step back and do nothing to keep from making matters worst.
.2 I read all the post that came in from you guys.
.3 I now know you are all a great bunch of folks.

After a time out, I went to the same gun shop, and bought a new weaver tool kit w/ driver and bits. Came home, started taking the walker apart. I didn't have to watch anything to do the job, just kept in mine, all the things you guy's have been saying. I took the screws out of the grip frame, and trigger guard, soon as I slid the grips off out came the problem. The hammer spring was broke into, half was hanging on the frame, and half fell out on the table. So I'll call Dixie Gun Works in the morning, and order a couple of them. It may not hurt to order a few other parts while ordering, never hurts to have spare parts. I guess if ya want to enjoy them, might as well learn to fix em. I have all pietta's. 4 Colts' and 2 Remington revolvers. Never had any kind of problem with them. They are not all new pistols. One 58 Remington revolver is a little over 20 yrds old, it's my first BP revolver, it will hit anywhere I point it. After buying that one, I wanted another 58, the 5.5" barrel. While waiting on it, I saw a Colt brass frame hanging in the gun shop, and thought, what the heck. So I got it. Now I have 7 Revolver's. .36 & .44s. They are fun, and a joy to shoot. That walker befour it broke, the 24 or 30 rds I fired out of it, took the bulls eye right out of a target at 50 yards I mean all you could see, was a white paper target, and one big black hole right dead in the middle, right out of the box. That told me right there it will reach on out there to a least 100 yards. That was the second reason I got so mad. A new $385.00 + revolver, and it broke after 30 rds. If you would have talked to the guy that I called after it happen, you would understand, what started this whole thing in the first place. Water under the bridge now. Lord willing, I'll get a new spring, an move on from this. I have found a 1858 Buffalo model w/ 12" barrel. I want it. But I don't know. Got to draw the ling somewhere. I read where someone wished they made them in the blued model. Well they do. It's a Pietta, and the price is in the $350 or so range. If you want one let me know, I'll look it up and pass on the info to you. I may post it here anyway. I,m sorry for being so long wind, But I had a lot on my mind, And again to think all you guys for the support.
